Hudson
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
HHS, Hudson High School, part of the Hudson City School District is located in Hudson, Ohio, USA. The school sits on a 72 acres campus that has been developed to include a variety of athletic fields, such as six tennis courts, a lighted baseball field, and a track. The principal of the school is Jay Tyree. The high school football stadium is currently located near the old high school. This stadium is named Lavelli Field in honor of alumnus and Pro Football Hall of Fame member Dante Lavelli. A new, privately funded stadium will someday be built on the high school's current campus.
The school recognizes 1885 as the year Hudson High School was established, as the first class of students graduated that year. Today, a full range of special education programs and educational options for gifted students are available to meet the needs of a wide range of students. Hudson offers numerous courses at the Honors and Accelerated levels, as well as 15 AP, advance placement courses, including an AP US Government class for the 2006 to 07 school year.
HHS also offers several unique, multi-period enrichment classes that include English and Social Studies curricula, including Networking, Contemporary Issues, Service Learning, and New Dimensions. Hudson High School boasts a well-rounded music program that encompasses five choirs, two orchestras, a full marching band, three jazz bands, four concert bands and a percussion ensemble.

The school colors are navy blue and white. The sports teams are called the Hudson Explorers, named in honor of Hudsonite Lincoln Ellsworth. Hudson's rivals include Solon and Stow-Munroe Falls.
